What's more shocking to me is that Netflix is worth more than Disney. What is the chance that Disney can execute implementing its own Netflix? What is Disney's batting average on projects like that?

> What is the chance that Disney can execute implementing its own Netflix? Disney effectively owns Hulu, which was already the #2 or #3 competitor to Netflix in the US for many years. Disney may not need to execute implementing anything, since they already own a fully-operational and fairly successful one of their own.

Disney owns BamTech the streaming company behind MLB at BAT and HBO Go. BamTech is widely believed to have the best streaming technology except for Netflix. No one has ever accused Disney of not being able to leverage its brands. They also have a good track record when it comes to acquiring other companies like Pixar, LucasFilm, and Marvel. If the deal with Fox goes through, they will have even more content to leverage.
